What a political storm we're in these days. Hate and divisiveness on both sides. But not EVERY presidential candidate is about division, and as you guys probably know by now.. my choice is Donald Trump. I'm not going into all the why's and wherefores.. just know I've watched him throughout his career and KNOW he's been completely consistent in who and what he is, what he stands for. Let's just leave it at that and focus on the subject I want to discuss....
Roger Ailes (Fox News) bashed Trump AND all of his supporters. Bashed as in nasty, ugly, hateful and demeaning rhetoric that literally pissed of more people than you could imagine. Of course, the horse-faced shrew, Megyn Kelly, was brought back on to moderate the 7th debate, with Ailes FULLY knowing that it would cause issues---and turn the debate into a political version of the Jerry Springer Show. Trump said "NO" to the debate and decided to do a fundraiser for our veterans. Trump's supporters immediately began tweeting that they would back him entirely on this! And we DID!
Trump's event was a TOTAL success, earning some $6,000,000.00 for our veterans! Trump put in $1,000,000.00 of his own money, just in case anyone is wondering.
Too late---Ailes called Trump and apologized for what he did, and Trump told him emphatically that he made a promise to the veterans to hold the charity rally... and that he was going to do exactly that. See, what people don't understand is that Donald Trump DOES exactly what he says he'll do, and he's been that way throughout his entire career. This is one major reason we supporters love him... because his word is gold.
The bitter hatred and ugliness from Ted Cruz supporters was and IS UNBELIEVABLY vile in its delivery, with nasty, hateful tweets and posts on FB... in response to positive and uplifting tweets/posts regarding helping the veterans. Only assholes would do such a thing, and boy are there a LOT of assholes out there! And oddly, the democrats are not just playing it safe by not attacking Trump to this extent, but they're making a VERY strong political statement by refraining. I mean, I'm a former Democrat turned Republican, and I will NEVER go back to that party, I promise. But I have to say that I'm really shocked and saddened by the sheer numbers of "More-Conservative-than-thou" republicans who metamorphosed into political cannibals! What the HELL is wrong with people these days? And the Dems just sit back and watch the Republican party self-destruct. Brilliant move on the Dems part, you have to admit.
SOME of the candidates refrain from the political cannibalism that seems SO popular these days.. so they can unite for a common cause. Such is with the case of Trump's charity rally last night. He invited Huckabee and Santorum to the event and asked them to speak. It was a BEAUTIFUL thing to see, FINALLY to see members of the republican party BEHAVE like republicans, like decent human beings. All the ugliness and bashing and hatred was happening, but it was happening elsewhere... most of it coming from a disingenuous Ted Cruz.
Honestly, I would love to see a Trump/Huckabee ticket, personally. But seriously... was such an impressive and moving event. And to tell you the truth, I'm not even sure why Huckabee is low on the polls. He's a stand-up guy with great policies. Still, would be nice if Trump would bring him on for VP....
Meanwhile, back at the RNC.... Republican elitists, those 'more-concervative-than-thou' bullies all look like a bunch of brawling, desperate fools, while democratic front runners are sitting back quietly and watching the show. Because they're (the Dems) aren't fighting amongst themselves. But there's genius in that, because what they're doing is stepping back and letting the republican party tear itself apart.. candidate by candidate, and with liberal media help.
Wake the hell up, America!!! UNITY, people! We ALL lose if we're divided! Stop tearing each other apart---and this has to happen with candidates AND voters!
